 Pulse-Jet Cylindrical Cartridge Collector
The AAF OptiFlo cartridge collector is the optimum solution to your in-plant air pollution problems. The OptiFlo provides high efficiency air cleaning on the most difficult dry dust applications. It is simple to install and maintain as well as being the most cost effective way to clean plant air. The modular design allows an unlimited range of sizes. Modules can be interconnected to accommodate the largest air cleaning task. The OptiFlo is a self cleaning dust collector and is fully automatic.
High Fractional Efficiency
Efficient on even submicron, health damaging, fine particulates, the OptiFlo collector was tested by an independent test lab to meet the highest levels of cleaning efficiency. Certified to exceed NIOSH and OSHA codes for recirculation of plant air, the OptiFlo dust collector containing proprietary OptiKlean filters, provides 99.999% average efficiency on submicron particles with low energy and operating cost. Tests were performed in accordance with ASHRAE RP-531 test procedures. Details are available on request.
 OptiKleanTM Cartridge Filters
OptiFlo filters are made of a proprietary durable polyester reinforced media specifically constructed to withstand the rigors of pulse cleaning. OptiKlean media has exceptional burst strength for unsurpassed resistance to abrasion and rupture. Scientifically developed to collect submicron dust particles, OptiKlean filters are engineered for energy-efficient continuous operation in harsh industrial environments with excellent dust release.

Ease of Maintenance
OptiKlean filters are replaced from outside of the collector. Since it is not necessary to enter the collector to change the OptiKlean cartridge filters, maintenance personnel have limited exposure to dust. OptiKlean cartridge filters are easily removed and installed by hand, no special tools are required.
Rugged Construction
The OptiFlo is constructed using 12 gauge steel and is true industrial quality. It is structurally reinforced to resist pressures up to -20 inches water column (0.72 psi) and is rated for seismic zone 4. NEMA 4 controls are standard and heavy duty one inch pulse valves are used to clean the filters with 90 to 100 psig compressed air.
How the OptiFlo Works
Dust laden air enters through the top inlets of the OptiFlo and the dust collects on the outer surfaces of the cartridge filters. Filtered air flows out of the cartridge filters into the clean air plenum and is discharged through the outlet. The filters are cleaned periodically by a burst of compressed air which is released through valves from a storage reservoir into the clean side of the filters. This dislodges the captured dust from the surface of the filter. The dust then falls freely into the hopper below for easy removal. The cleaning sequence is controlled by a solid state control and actuated by either a timer or a pressure switch control.
